Dear Travelers, my name is Manuela and my husband and I own an apartment in the Northern Italian Lake District in the town of Varano Borghi where I am originally from. I spent most of my adult life in the United States. I studied in Chicago and I moved to Portland, OR in 2005. We recently moved to Florida. I enjoy coming to Varano Borghi to visit my family and friends at least once a year and I have a very close relationship with this tight community. I know the area very well and I want to share with you my home and beautiful itineraries you will not find in any tourist guides. The Northern Italian Lake District is an authentic and charming area of Italy and you will find yourself often outside the main tourist routes.
